Becoming a parent is a life-changing event. It often involves many highs and lows as you get to know your baby and adjust to a new way of life. There is no one right way to parent, and babies thrive in many different environments. How you parent your child will depend on you, your circumstances and, of course, your baby’s individual personality.
NCT’s Early Days postnatal courses, for mothers with babies up to 6 months old, provide a friendly environment to explore what works best for you and your baby as you begin your new life together.
